  Mr. BECERRA. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, November 7, 2005, I was unable 
to cast my floor vote on rollcall Nos. 570, 571, and 572. The votes I 
missed included a motion to suspend the rules and agree to Recognizing 
the 40th anniversary of the Second Vatican Council's Declaration on the 
Relation of the Church to Non-Christian Religious, Nostra Aetate, and 
the continuing need for mutual interreligious respect and dialogue; a 
motion to suspend the rules and agree to the Senator Paul Simon Water 
for the Poor Act; and a motion to suspend the rules and agree to 
Supporting the goals and ideals of National Ovarian Cancer Awareness 
Month.
  Had I been present for the votes, I would have voted ``aye'' on 
rollcall votes Nos. 570, 571, and 572.
